in the side frame members of a vehicle chassis.

An important object of the provide an inexpensive mountin invention islto preferably of elastic material, which may e easily asvide a channelshaped member,

zo tion will more fully appear side frame me members 14 have 'o'sembledor disassembled, between an engine and a channel side frame member.

. Another object of the invention is to prodetachably secured to theengine, which has a ipping engagement with the lateral edges o a memberresiliently supported on the side frame member.

Other objects and advanta es of the invenom the following descriptiontaken in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which:

Fig. 1 is a sectional view showing a portion of an internal combustionengine suported between the side members of a chassis rame illustratinga preferred embodiment of my invention. t Fig. 2 is a side elevationshowing an en larged view of gle mounting secured to the Fig. 3 is aside elevation of the mounting shown in Fig. 2, the side frame memberbeing shown in'section. i

Fig. 4 is a sectional view taken online 4- 4ofFig.2.

Fig. 5v is a sectional view taken on line 5-5 of Fig. 2.

Referring to the drawing, I vhave shown an internal combustion engine'10 having laterally projecting arms 12. Side frame been illustrated asthe frame members of an automobile chassis adapted to form a support forthe engine 1 0. A channel shaped member 16 is detachably secured to thearm 12 by bolts 18, the central portion of the channel being providedwith openings 20 for the reception of the bolts 18.

The side flanges 22 of the channel shaped member 16 have their outeredges bent outwardly and then inwardly, the inwardly ex- -siredl theplate v26 may be tending portion bent back over the outwardly extendingportion, to provide a grooved portion 24 which embraces the oppositeedges of amember to which the channel 16 is attached.

The mounting which forms a resilient connection between the channel 16and the side frame member has a metallic plate like member 26,preferably rectangular in shape. Spaced from the plate like member 26 isanother member 28 which has a face in overlapping relation with a faceof the plate 26.

These two plates are joined together by re,

30, such as rubber, vulcanized to the adjacent faces of each member.Openings 32 are provided in the rubber member 30 to permit the insertionof bolts 34 through aligned openings 36 in the plate like member 26 andthe side frame member 14. If deprovided with s ilient material ianges toreceive the bolts and 32 may be omitted. Y

The member 28 is preferabl a stamping and has U shaped portions 38'ormed therein extending away from the resilient member 30. The rubberis vulcanized to the ends and central rtion of the inner face of themember 28, ridging the space between the flanges of the U shaped members38, thus proan opening40 in the member 28.

e 'referredvto, receive the opposite edges of the member 28. Outwardlyextending anges 42 hold the flanges 22 against vertical movementrelative to the member28.A Bolts 44. extend-` n 'de ianges 22 85 ingthrough openings in the also extend through the openings 40 in the Ushaped members 38 and a nut 46 screw threaded on the bolt 44 tightlydraws the side lian'ges' i22 together, clamping the mem p ber 28therebetween. yThe U shaped meine bers 38 extend substantially the fullwidth of the lmember 28 andhave their 'opposite ends in engagement withthe inner faces of the `side ange's ,n clamp the member 28 by its sideedges the ends. f the U shaped members' 38.

By such a construction it will be apparent that the member 28 issupported vertically by a 'gripping action on its edges and the ends v fof the u shaped members as as wen is by l" the openings 70 grooved endsof the anges 22, above 22 so that the side flanges 22 and 5 the members38 supported'directly on the bolts 44 which are in turn supported on theside flanges 22. d

Variouschanges .including the size, sha and arrangement 'of parts ma bemade Wit out departing from the spirit of4 my invention and it is myintention to cover by the appended claims such changes as maybereasonably included within the scope of my invent1on.

I claim:

1. A mounting of the class described comprising, spaced members arrangedin overlapping relation with each other, a U shaped 5 member havingflanges clamped to the edges of one of said members, attaching means onthe other of said members, and rubber between and bonded to the adjacentfaces of said spaced members.

2. A mounting of the class described comprising, spaced members arrangedin overapping relation with each other, a U shaped member having flangesembracing opposite ledges of one of said members, attaching means D onthe other of said members, and rubber vulcanized to the adjacent facesof said spaced members.

3. A mounting of the class .described como prising, spaced membersarranged in overmembe'r having beads in which the edges of one of themembers are engaged, means 4'for securing the other member to a support,means for securing the channel to a part to be supported, and rubbervulcanized to the adjacent faces of said members.

4. A mounting ofthe class described comrising, spaced members arrangedin overo appin relation with each other, rubber vulcamzeg to theadjacent faces of said members, outwardly extending portions on one ofsaid spaced members, and connecting means havin lateral attachingflanges clamped to the e ges of said outwardly extending portions.

5. A mounting of the class described comrising, spaced members arrangedin over-y appin relation with each other, rubber vulcanize to theadjacent faces of said members, outwardly extending portions on one ofsaid spaced members, connecting means having lateral attaching flangesclamped to the edges of said outwardly extending portions, and a boltextending through said lateral ianges and said outwardly extendingportion for securing said flanges to the outwardly extending portion.

6. A mounting of the class'described comprising, spaced members arrangedin overlapplng relation with each other, rubber vulcanized to theadjacent faces of said members, channel portions on oneof said membersextending from one side of said member to the other side, vconnectingmeans having lateral apping-relation with each other, a channelattachingiianges, and means 'for clamping said anges to sald channel portions.

7. A mounting lof the class described comprising, spaced membersarranged in overlapping relation with each other, 'rubber vulcamzed tothe adjacent faces'of said mem v bers, one of said spaced members havingchannel projections extending outwardly away from said rubber.

9. A mounting of the class described comprising, spaced members arrangedin overlapping relation with each other, and rubber vulcanized to theadjacent faces of said members, one of said spaced members havingchannel projections extending Voutwardly away `from said rubber andextending substantially the width of said member.
